Saving Granger
Chapter one


Hermione sat next to the lake watching the giant squid float slowly across the surface. She had just finished her last NEWTS exam, potions. She felt pretty confident about her grade, after all, Professor Snape had tutored her most of the year. Hermione planned on being a potion mistress and needed an O to get into the program at Uni.

As the warm spring sun shone down she let her mind wander. Professor Snape had been so different since the final battle. Oh he was still sarcastic and unpleasant at times. Nothing could ever change that. But now that he no longer led a double life and wasn’t in constant pain from Voldy’s tender care he was a much happier person. He even offered to help her with her potions study. It was about a week after the final battle and everyone was meeting at 12 Grimauld Pl. to celebrate the end of the war and Harry’s engagement to Draco. Partway thru the evening talk had turned to what everyone was going to do after graduation. Harry was going straight into the Auror program. Draco was going to be busy running Malfoy Enterprises. Neville was going to Uni for Herbology and his girlfriend Luna was going for Journalism. Hermione had said she was going to go for her potion mistress. Snape looked surprised and said “You will need an O on your NEWTS exam. I could tutor you if you like”. She had accepted before he could change his mind.

A sound bought Hermione back to the present. Ginny and Blaise had said ‘HI” as they strolled by hand in hand. Hermione returned the greeting. The light caught Ginny’s red hair just right and it made her think of Ron. Hermione immediately felt her heart skip a beat and her stomach sink. She could still remember looking over the devastation of the final battle and seeing Ron running to her. She had been so relieved that he was OK. She never saw the streak of green light shoot toward her, but Ron did and threw her to the ground at the last possible moment. The Killing Curse caught him in the back. He toppled over onto Hermione. She could clearly remember his glassy eyes looking at her from inches away. She remembered trying to crawl out form under his dead weight but was trapped. She had closed her eyes and started to scream uncontrollably. She felt herself picked up and everything went black. Later she woke up on a cot in the medical tent.

Shaking herself out of her thoughts she brushed the tears off of her face. It wouldn’t do any good to cry she needed to get on with her life. Ron would be upset if he knew she was still mourning him after all these months. She decided some tea and a sandwich would do her good. She picked up her things and started in to castle.

Snape had watched Hermione as she sat next to the lake. The entire staff had been watching Hermione closely since Ron’s death. She had lost so much in the last year and everyone was worried about her. Her parents had died in an auto accident early in the summer. Then losing her lover in the final battle would have been too much for most 16 year olds. Sometimes he wondered if the only thing keeping her going was the Griffindor spirit that she seemed to exemplify.

Snape pulled the magic mirror from his pocket and softly called to Albus. The mirror showed Albus’s face “Yes my boy?” came from the mirror. “Hermione seems to be upset would it be permissible to take her to Hogsmead for tea?” Severus asked. “Of course, do whatever you can.” as the mirror returned to normal.
